Amakusa Kaisen Kura
Located at the northern tip of Shimoshima, the largest island in the Amakusa archipelago, this popular complex offers dolphin watching in some of Kumamoto’s clearest waters along with dining options that let you fully enjoy local seafood.
The attached restaurant focuses on fresh seafood, and you can tell right away the ingredients are really solid. Both the sashimi and the seafood rice bowls are generous and feel really well done.

Hakone Gindofu
In front of Hakone Tozan Railway’s Gora Station, there is an established tofu shop which provides tofu for breakfast for many hotels and inns in Hakone. On holidays, a waiting line forms at this local favorite store.
The texture of Gindofu is a lot like our douhua (tofu pudding). I tried it with the soy sauce recommended by the owner, and it was surprisingly delicious!

Hakone Venetian Glass Museum
The Hakone Venetian Glass Museum is located in the lush greenery of Hakone Sengokuhara. The compound consists of the Venetian Glass Museum, the Modern Glass Museum and the Glass Workshop. The garden overlooks Owakudani Valley. There is a lovely cafe/restaurant, and an interesting museum store.
This dreamy European-style estate has outdoor glass art blended with nature. Inside, there are lots of exquisite glass artworks for sale—they're really beautiful! When you get tired from walking around, you can relax at the restaurant, have a drink, and listen to violin music. It really makes you feel surrounded by art.
